OFFICE OF THE GAZETTE,
FORT WORTH. TEX. Jan. 4. 1857.
Trade was improved to-day but is not
yet up to an average. Country produce
is in somewhat better demand but prices
are not as yet strong.
The supply of coal is short but the
prices has not been advanced.
Receipts of cotton to-day were very
small, and the general opinion is that the
crop has all been marketed.
HOW GOLD is EXPORTED.
The process of shipping gold across the
ocean is thus described by the Boston
Commercial Bulletin:
Each keg contains $50, 900 in clear gold.
1t is from the Bank Of America at New
York that most of the gold is shipp ID
from that city. The foreign steamships
sailing from this city now carry little or
no gold, although the reverse was the
case years ago.
The shipments OF gold are not gener-
ally on the banks account. At first
glance persons might well suppose that
when the demand arises for gold to send
abroad the shipper would only have to
send in his order for his hundreds of
thousands to the sub-treasury, where
millions of specie are n deposit. But
there are sufficient reasons why this plan
will not work. The sub-treasury
can pay out its coin only 10
creditors of the government. With
the Bank of America the associated banks
keep on deposit constantly an enormous
sum of gold, sometimes amounting to
$40 100000. To the members of the
bank association the Bank Of America
issues its own certificates against these
deposits, redeemable on demand. So
when there is occasion for making a gold
shipment, the coin is prepared for that
purpose in the rear Office of that
bank; here it is bagged and Keyed and
made ready for shipment.
Kegs in which gold is packed-"specie
kegs" as they are cslled-are made OF
extra hard wood. They must have an
extra iron hoop. Specie is not thrown
loosely into key, nor, upon the other
hand, is il carefully wrapped in tissue Pc
per and piled up one coin upon another.
The keg serves only as q protection for
canvas bags, into which the gold Is placed
in the ordinary hit-anGmiss fashion of
pennies in a mans pocket. Into each bag
go $4,000, and ten bags fill a key.
In the interest of security, each keg is
treated to what Is technically known
among the shippers as the ''red-taping"
process. At each end of the key, in the
projecting rim of the stsyes above the
head, are bored four holes at equidistant
intervals. A piece of red tape is run
through these holes, crossing on the head
of the key, and the ends finally meet in
the center. At the point of meeting the
tape is sealed to the kegs head by wax
bearing the stamp of the shipper Brad
streets.

CATS AND DOGS.

Charles Johnson, of Griffin, Ga, says that
he has a cat that turned from jet black to
gray from grief at being separated from his
children, to whom it was greatly attached.
The pet cat belonging to Mrs Lucy Cain,
of Hannibal, No., brought a mouse into the
parlor recently, and with it a small piece of
paper money Mrs. Cain thought nothing
about the occurrence until one day last week,
when she discovered that roll of bills was
missing from her bureau drawer. Then she
put two and two together, and began a Wig
orous search of the premises. The missing
bills were finally unearthed in corner of the
cellar, where a colony of mice had made a
nest of them.
At the time of the recent strike of the to-
bacco workers in T. Lorillard e. Co S factory
in Jersey City there were two pet cats in the
factory which were inseparable One of
them went out with the strikers, but the
other remained In the factory, and when the
strike was over the striking cat went back
with the hands. 1t refused, however, to as
sociate with the faithful CAT. The two met
by accident the other day on one of the floors
of the factory, and the cat that went out
pitched into the other cat and thrashed it,
Now the victorious cat travels about the
factory with a red, white and blue ribbon
around its neck, placed there by its Knights
Of Labor admirers. We won't vouch for this
tale, but it Is interesting.

Emeralds and diamonds are combination

The long wristed Mousquetaires are still

Yellow, brown, porcelain blue and old rose
ribbons will be used upon childrens frocks of
white French nainsook.
Among the novelties in artificial flowers
are thistles in every stage OF growth, also
catkinS and pussy willows.
Wooens are not so coarse and rough as
last year but rather brilliant and light,
somewhat in the style of an improved mohair
Blouse waists will be extensively used for
the summer dresses of girls upward OF years
old Kilt plated skirts will invariably ac-
company them
For weddings, guest cards in the form of
little white satin slippers, and menus t.
match, are used The cracker ball programme
with pencil pushed into it is uncommon.
Ladybirds in red enamel, wonderfully true
to nature, is another popular fancy for studs,
pins or brooches; the former with single in
sects, the latter with three attached to gold
bar.
At n recent wedding the bridesmaids wore
cream gowns, with dark brown hose, shoes

and a small whip at one side with ivory

The umpires will have rather easier time
this season, as they are relieved of the high

manner of coaching.
Radbourne says it's mistake for anyone
to think that Brouthers can't hit anything
but a low ball. He thinks that when it is alb
